Parents Love Museum Adventures
Here’s what parents are saying about Museum Adventures:
“Your tours offer what many parents want to give to their kids and may not know exactly how.”
“You do a great job introducing sophisticated material to the kids– without dumbing it down nor having it go over their heads. That’s a tricky balance and you do it well!”
“Claire is amazing and really knows her stuff when it comes to art theory and art history. You can tell she really loves working with kids and loves art.”
Contact us to join one of our upcoming tours and see why we’re the best art program in the city!
Explore Art with a Guide
Our Museum Adventures program is an opportunity to explore art with your children, led by the talented artist and art educator, Claire Munday.

Dali-inspired Melting Clocks!
Art Adventures Studio embossed and built their own Dali-inspired functioning clocks! Clocks were designed and constructed to reflect the “melting” of Dali’s famous clocks.
You and your child can make your own (a great Father’s Day gift) this Saturday, June 1st @4-5:30pm – contact us!
Learn about SCULPTURE with Elmo!
We love Sesame Street, so on April 18th, when the word of the day was SCULPTURE, we couldn’t have been more excited. Children who have been on our Museum Adventures tours may recognize some of the artists: Rodin, Brancusi, and David Smith.
Want to learn more about sculpture? Join us for a tour!
And check out this great segment on sculpture:
Alina Szapocznikow Body Sculptures
Using alginate and plaster to explore negative space, students learned how to mix skin color and painted their hands in their own unique ways.
Check out the results of the second part of this project:
Nathalie Djurberg Animal Sculptures
Nathalie Djurberg animal sculpture required many steps! Thinking about a skeleton inside of a sculpture to keep it strong, which shape to make it and which animal to build! With the use of armature wire, aluminum foil, plaster wrap and paint, these are our amazing creatures that took 3 weeks!
We also made Murakami inspired projects in honor of Mother’s Day. Take a look:
Alina Szapocznikow Body Sculptures
Using alginate and plaster to explore negative space, to see humor in art using body parts and learning an extreme amount of self control, students were challenged to create a hand gesture and hold it for up to 10 min. as the alginate mold was created.
Check out the results of the first part of this project:
